datastores
Description
This command checks remaining capacity on the datastores, and if they are
accessible. This is known as --select volumes from check_vmware_esx.
Options
Besides the general options this command supports the following options:
| options | description |
|---|---|
--allowed REGEX |
(optional) REGEX is checked against <name of datastore>, if REGEX doesn’t match the snapshot is ignored |
--banned REGEX |
(optional) REGEX is checked against <name of datastore>, if REGEX does match the snapshot is ignored |
--vimtype VIMTYPE |
the object type to check, see common options, currently HostSystem and ClusterComputeResource are supported here, if omitted all datastores are checked |
--vimname VIMNAME |
name of the vimtype object, see common options |
--critical CRITICAL |
critical threshold, see common options |
--warning WARNING |
warning threshold, see common options |
--metric METRIC |
the name of the metric to check, can be one of usage, used, free. used and free can be suffixed by a unit (B, kB, MB, GB), like free_MB or used_GB. if omitted it defaults to usage, which is (100 * used/capacity) |
In case of --vimtype HostSystem it may be useful to omit the --vimname when
you run this command directly against the HostSystem (not through the vcenter).
